We're Satan's Highest Priority

First Sunday of the year.
The church schedule has changed from 3 hours to 2 hours now, except today was a special Stake Conference for our Stake.  The reason for the change is so that families can spend more time together teaching gospel principles in the home and learning how to become Christ centered homes and Christ centered families.  So, Del and I have decided that each fast Sunday, or the first Sunday of the month, we will have this in our home and invite each of our children and their families to come and participate if they want to or can.  All had answered yes for today.
Because it is Kathryn's birthday tomorrow, we were also making it her birthday celebration.  And Satan wanted non of it to happen.  Mike and Kylie's family were over 45 minutes late - for good reason, of course, (Kylie was in a church meeting) - but still late.  Then Jordan and Lexi were discussing some of their moving challenges for this coming week and it turned gradually into some uncomfortable conversation and tenseful moments where they both left the room and went to their bedroom to continue the conversation.  Then, right as dinner was being served up, Kathryn had a full fledged melt down, because of some unkind action or words being said by others and she and Ammon ended up leaving with Kathryn in tears.
Satan was in over drive...and winning the race.  We did have a really nice lesson with the adults and then the kids too - of which we all felt the spirit and I was able to express the fact that Satan was going to do all he could to not allow this family to progress spiritually in the gospel, either in our homes or as families.  But at dinner time - ?  It it the fan.  I tried to talk to Kathryn - Lexi went out and tried - Del tried and then Kylie made the last attempt; she being the one Kathryn was upset at.  Kathryn and Ammon finally returned , had dinner, we had cake and ice cream, had the birthday celebration, and then we gave Kathryn her birthday gift....her temple clothes.
We can't let this happen.  Satan wants nothing more than to destroy our family.  And we just can't let him.  He does not want Ammon and Kathryn being sealed.  He does NOT want us having family home evenings and family get togethers to study gospel principles and strengthen our testimonies.  He wants to destroy us.
The evening ended well enough.  But not what we had hoped for.
And it won't end here. 
Neither for Satan; and neither for us.
